Penny Rug : What is a penny rug? "Penny rug" is a name given to a folk art style of appliqué. Dating from the mid 19th century, they were traditionally made from felted wool (i.e. the wool was washed to shrink it). And despite their name, they were not used on the floor, but as decorative table rugs or wall hangings. The "penny" comes from the coins that were used as templates for the circles. Most of the penny rugs had simple shapes of flowers or animals, usually layered and appliquéd on the rug with blanket stitch embroidery in contrasting colors. Their simple, primitive style gives them a charm that has continued through the years. http://www.patchpieces.com/pennyruginfo.html The style of rug we will make will be my original design and untraditional. I prefer to approach design of my penny rugs with a more contemporary edge. Depending on the season, it may be based on a holiday theme. Kathy Morris, Instructor |

Découpagé is believed to have originated in Italy in the late 17th, early 18th centuries as a way of imitating styles of decorating such as inlay, marquetry, and Chinese lacquerwork. It is actually quite simple! If you can cut and paste, you already know most of the simple techniques involved. Kathy Morris, Instructor |
$17 (includes $12 fee and $5 materials cost) Your choice of wooden box, wooden "gift bag", or bring an object of your own choice and the materials cost will be less. Basically, you cut out images; prepare the surface of object; you glue the images onto object; and then cover the object and pictures with a few coats of glue or découpagé medium to protect it. |
